AKA murder case to continue in June
The murder case of rapper AKA and Tebello Motsoane has been postponed to June for pre-trial.
The case was heard in the Durban High Court for the first time on Thursday, with five of the seven suspects lining up in the dock.
It's been just over two years since Kiernan Forbes and his friend were gunned down outside a restaurant on Durban’s Florida Road.
In April last year, police arrested and charged five suspects in KZN, and two brothers in neighbouring eSwatini.
Detectives believe the suspects conspired and carried out a meticulous plan to assassinate Forbes, sharing an R800 000 pay-out for his murder.
They face 11 charges, ranging from murder, attempted murder, unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Thursday's court appearance was brief, with a focus on pre-trial issues.
In eSwatini, the Ndimande brothers have continued to fight against their extradition, resulting in the case moving forward without them.
